Why is it that

class swi  
{
    public static void main(String[] args)  
    {  
        int a=98;
        switch(a)
        {
            default:{ System.out.println("default");continue;}
            case 'b':{ System.out.println(a); continue;}
            case 'a':{ System.out.println(a);}
        }
        System.out.println("Switch Completed");
    }
}

gives error as: continue outside of loop
